After a lot of work, and a lot of testing done by a lot of people the RC4 is here and we hope it will be the last one before the final release.
Highlights:
- Fix a crash in the file receiver
- Fix a crash in the KDED
- Cleaned audio UUID’s (less false positives in the wizard)
- Added Audio Sink support in the systray application (Patch by Peter Korf)
- some i18n work (not perfect tough)
- A lot of work in kio_obexftp, it should be stable now, test it!
Errata:
- Some times the systray application is not updated correctly
- kio_obexftp is stable, but some times has weird behaviours (testers needed!)
- kio_obexftp "rename" action is not working in some cases.
- Do not use the RC4 tag, use RC4-1 instead.
Download:
The tarball can be found here with md5: c967bce0edd20c2937db5071c7b735df
And git tag: git clone git://gitorious.org/bluedevil/bluedevil.git; cd bluedevil; git checkout v1.0-rc4-1
Help needed:
Since we hope that this will be the last Release Candidate, we need a lot of test to get the final version rock solid, so please test test and test!
Finally, a small video of what we can do with the kio’s inside BlueDevil:
Thanks!
Great work.
Just my 2 cents :
- In the URL, it would have been better to use the device name if available
- During long operations like devices scanning or file/folders listing, the user may miss the progress bar at the bottom in the status bar. It would have been interesting if Dolphin could show it in the URL bar ( like Windows Vista/7 or Google Chrome ), or show an animation in the main empty dolphin window ( like a big SVG icon glowing, or a loading animation )
The url, is actually considered a BUG, and will be solved (we hope) for 1.0 version.
The long operation thing, is something more from dolphin that us, but we’ll try to work on it. Can you report a bug at http://bugs.kde.org ?
Thanks!
Hi!. Thanks for all your hard work with bluedevil, I find it great at this moment, and it is nice to see that there is place to more improvements.
I would like to ask you about the state of Kamoso. I use Cheese at the moment, but I prefer a native KDE app for my webcam.
Kamoso is a Pet project of mine together with Aleix Pol, we plan to work on it when we find the right time (for example next weekend in the kde-españa encounter).
Hi, thanks a lot for working on this.
Are there plans to include this in KDE, for example in the 4.7 release?
Yes, in KDE 4.6 if everything goes right.
Great work, thanks a lot for this!
Finally, we have a very functional bluetooth integration for KDE
It looks very useful and promising! I wonder what will KIO and FolderView do when I’ll disable and then enable bluetooth on mobile or for example when I log in to KDE without mobile in range and after some time mobile with bluetooth will be in range – does it search for device and refresh file list on Folder View periodicaly?
Does BlueDevil work with KAnyRemote without problems?
What will BlueDevil do when I login to KDE twice (two users – multiseat) on single PC? (KBluetooth had problems with that – when sending files to PC it’s been random which user got file and it crashed on logout).
Thanks for great application with great KDE integration! Such thing was indeed needed.
Well, we’re not pulling (checking if the device is there or not) because between other things that would be a very battery expensive operation. What you can do though is just press F5.
About KAnyRemote, I don’t know, maybe you can try :p
About the multi-users, I don’t know either :/ maybe is something to look and improve for 1.1
Thanks for the feedback!
Looks amazing! Thank you!
I Afiestas,
can i post your video on my Youtube Channel?
Yes, thanks.

hi,
My main usage of bluetooth is sending multiple files at once, initiated from the device. Since there is a bug in kbluetooth concerning notifications (eventually crashing), I’d love to try out this new bluedevil stuff. Quite exciting to see KDE is getting some bluetooth love
anyway, I’m still on 4.4, is it possible to try it out without conflicting with the current bluetooth stack?
If your support did it right, you should be able to have both, working ok.
Just got this item replacing a pnrltaonics 520 I didn’t like at all. Anyhow,the H730 connected effortlessly to my BB and the audio, receiving and sent is very very good. Plenty loud Easy to use and great price. Highly recommend

Thanks for bluedevil, it’s working fine in debian squeeze.
However, I am unable to locate the on/off bluetooth selection in bluedevil, any chance of adding this function? (Was installing Linux Mint for a friend and by chance comes to know that gnome’s bluetooth app can actually do this)
Hello, thanks for a good software. I have been waiting for normal KDE bluetooth integration for a long time..
I found only one show stopper – selection of audio devices as headset by defaut, and I’m waiting for bluedevil 1.1 
Another issue is when I start my computer bluedevil doesn’t start automaticaly (even if I set bluedevil in autostart). I have to use radio_kill switch to kill bluetooth and wireless on my pc and to turn them on. Then the bluedevil starts. Is it a bug or just my stupidity?
